Raw vs Jepg with Olympus, PP this picture better than Olympus.

Ok I just got an EPM2, I love it. But, I cannot see any difference between the Jpegs, and the Raws converted to Jpeg in OV3.

With my Canon SX50HS, it is so obvious that the RAW files converted to Jpeg look better than the OOC Jpegs.

Now with this EPM2, the OOC Jpegs, and the Raw files converted to Jpeg with OV3 look the same. I am sure that people with more experience than me can use LR and Photoshop to make the Raw files look a lot different. But can anyone take my raw file and use OV3 to make my picture look "better," better can be whatever you think is better. I do not understand how to use OV3, I cannot make my pictures look much different. I love the Jpegs from the camera, but I am wondering if I should get LR, actually, please use any program you want to PP this picture I am going to upload. Also I am interested in Panasonic lenses, like the 20mm and 25mm, does OV3 have a tool for CA correction, or is LR also better for this?

Thank You.

Actually I do not know how to give you guys the raw file, here is two jpegs, I will upload the Raw file when I find out how to do so.
